Hello, my loves welcome back to Lavendaire.
so happy.
End of November, today, we're going to plan for December.
So if you're new here, this plan with me is an interactive series where I will share some
prompts to help you plan and reflect your months.
And then I will give you a chance to pause the video and actually plan along with me.
So before we get started, I want to remind you guys that the new artists of life workbook
is out on my shop.
This is the 2022 artist of life workbook that you use to plan your best year in 2022.
So I'll link it here and down below.
So you can check out this as well as our new weekly reset planner.
So super excited about what's new on our Shopify.
Plus we have a new mini launch coming up this week, actually.
So December 1st, check back on the shop for our new tear off notepads.
So we have a weekly and daily notepad that are also going to come out.
All right, so let's get started first.
Let's review November, describe November in one word rate from one to 10, how much you
agree with the statement this month?
I took steps to get closer to my goals and dream life list.
All of your highlights from November, what is one thing that you learned?
What is one thing that you're proud of?
And lastly, how can you improve for next month now for this month's bonus question?
What is one habit change that would make the most meaningful difference in my life right
now?
Moving on let's plan for December I final month of 2021.
Oh my goodness.
Already first set your attention December will be blank.
List your top three goals for the month list, any mini goals you have for the month.
So any other habits or activities that you also want to do now make a weekly breakdown
for your goals and mini goals, and finally schedule it all in your calendar so that you
make sure you make it happen.
All right, so now it's my turn to share my answers for this monthly review.
So November for me in one word was beautiful.
I feel like it was a beautiful month.
A lot of social activities, a lot of fun things happening with friends and family.
So there's nothing that I can say that was okay.
Not I take it back.
There were things that were challenging in November regarding my team and my work, but
at the same time, there were so many beautiful things happening in my personal and social
life that it kind of, you know, everything blends together and life is okay in the end,
it balances each other out.
Some highlights from November.
One of the big events of this month was one of my best girlfriends got married.
She's one of those people that was supposed to have their wedding early 2020.
And of course it had to get pushed back twice, almost two years until now, but I'm so happy
and grateful that it happened.
I got to see a lot of friends that I have not seen for so long because of the pandemic.
And so that was a really, really, really fun day.
I was a bridesmaid.
I choreograph the dance for the bridesmaids and for the groomsmen, because I used to have
dance experience.
If you guys don't know, I used to, I was on a hip hop team in college.
I used to choreograph and lead dance teams.
That was a past life of mine.
Anyway, that was beautiful.
I also went to Disneyland, which was really nice because it's like holiday theme.
And that was really fun.
I'm actually filming this on Thanksgiving day.
So after this, I'm going to be spending a lot of time with my family, my brother's home
he's right downstairs, which is really nice.
Another very random highlights that I'm sure some of you will appreciate is I started watching
no, this month.
I know it's such a random time to start because it's such an old anime, but it's because on
Halloween, me and Wilson dressed up as demon Slayer, which is another enemy.
And I had two friends dress up as Neruda characters, and that just kind of sparked my interest
to start watching it.
And once I started, I could not stop.
So I have just been bingeing that it's been so much fun.
So that's been really nice just to have something to look forward to every day.
One thing that I learned at this past month was getting deeper into learning about blockchain
gaming.
I know it sounds so random.
I might have talked about me learning about crypto and NFTs before like digital real estate.
I have been continuing this exploration, which has led me to learn a lot about this new era
of gaming that has, is just like beginning.
So because of blockchain technology, a lot of the games that they're working on right
now are called play to earn games.
Basically, you know, when you play a game, you can like earn tokens and coins and stuff
and traditional games.
You can't really take those coins out of the game, but now because of blockchain, the technology
is there for you to be able to take your tokens and even like your assets, the NFTs out of
the game and trade that for real money.
So essentially it's this whole new economy that is just starting.
It is just being built.
And it's a really exciting time for gamers or for anyone who is interested in this opportunity
for financial freedom.
I am so into it.
I already purchased some like NFTs and assets in games that have not come out yet.
I know it sounds weird to people who just have no idea about this, but if you guys are
curious, I might make videos on this.
I know it's so different from what I typically talk about, but I'm really deep into it.
I'm very interested guys.
And I think this is the future.
So anyway, that's what I've been learning.
One thing that I'm proud of this past month I already mentioned was me choreographing
the wedding dances for the bridesmaids and the groomsmen.
And that was so much fun.
I mean, they were simple dances because I had to keep in mind that these are not dancers.
So I kept the dances fun and simple, but cute at the same time.
And I don't know if that just kind of got my creative juices flowing and it was so fun
to do.
And I could distinctly tell that now I've come to a place where my creativity is less
inhibited because I mentioned used to dance like in college.
And even after college, I was on multiple dance teams.
But when I was in my early twenties, I was so shy and I was so, um, I just had this filter
that when we were asked to choreograph stuff, I just had such a creative block because I
was too scared of what people would think of me.
I would judge myself before even like, like, you know, deciding this is the choreography
because as I was creating, I be judging myself like, oh no, this is not good enough.
Oh, this is not like pretty, or this is ugly or this is weird.
So I would like, I guess, hold myself back during the creative process back then to the
point where it was so hard to choreograph and it paralyzed me, I just had so much fear
of judgment and all this stuff going on.
But now when I was asked to choreograph these, like, it just broke.
It came out so easily, even though I haven't danced in years, but I just feel like I'm
just so open now or more open with my creativity and how I express myself.
And yeah, if you are an artist like that is the space you want to be able to tap into
is to just let go of the filters, let go of the fear, let go of the walls and just let
yourself express yourself freely.
It took me years guys.
Next question is, how can I improve for next one?
I feel like next month is also like holiday season.
So I don't want to be too hard on myself on one hand it's holidays.
On the other hand, it's like the most important month for Lavendaire shop sales.
Cause it's the new year.
So I think it's all about prioritizing and giving myself enough time to rest.
So prioritizing the important stuff and then just like not sweating the small stuff, not
getting stressed over anything unnecessarily to answer the bonus question.
What is a habit that would make a meaningful change in my life right now?
I had this idea recently this past month because I see Wilson playing games and chatting with
his friends, talking on discord.
Like I don't really use discord and my friends don't either, but I like that.
It's like an open platform where they can just talk.
And like, he is like laughing and chatting with his friends every night.
And I'm like, why can't I talk like that with my girlfriends?
So I think a habit that would make a meaningful change is just to like create a space where
maybe on a weekly basis, we could just talk instead of like having to schedule like a
zoom or schedule a lunch or dinner.
I just feel like, I don't know it depending on where you live, like me living in the suburbs
in LA, it's such a huge space.
Like if you want to meet a friend, you have to plan like two weeks in advance and you
schedule it in your calendar and it's, it's not very casual.
It's not just like, oh, Hey, like let's meet in 15 minutes.
Like that's impossible, you know?
So yeah, just kind of creating a space that makes it easier to connect, I think would
make a meaningful difference in my life right now.
And on that note, let me know if you guys do this with your friends or if you have any
tips for what you do with your friends to connect maybe on a weekly basis and quick
question, like, do you guys use discord?
Do you guys use clubhouse?
I know clubhouse was like big last year.
I'm not sure if it's died down, but yeah, I think I would like more outlets to just
like talk and connect and it might be because I have, I put my podcast on hiatus, so I don't
do calls and I don't talk to people as much as I did when I had my podcasts.
And so maybe I'm just craving some like human connection.
This is coming from someone who literally is at home every single day, every day of
the week, moving on to December goals.
My intention for December is to be joyful, is to focus on the joy.
It's so simple, but I think it's like an intention that you can live by because focusing on joy
is one of the most important things you can do to live a happy life.
Obviously.
Um, my top three goals for December, let me check this.
I wrote it down.
Number one, I mentioned earlier, we are launching our notepads on December 1st.
So my goal is to just have a successful launch and continue it throughout the month in December.
My second goal for the month is to plan a getaway retreats for either December or January,
most likely because I really have been wanting to take a week off and go somewhere just to
heal and relax.
So that is on my plans that I need to figure out and plan for.
And then my third goal for December is to just make time maybe a couple of days to plan
out my goals for 2022.
I love how December, like I set aside a few days to just like reflect and think I spent
a lot of time working on the workbook.
That is what this is for.
So December really is the month where I will do these exercises kind of flip through.
I don't do it in chronological order.
I just kind of like flip through and do what calls to me at the moment.
So just setting goals for the entire year and ideally starting to plan the travels that
I want to do in 2022.
I just have had this itch, this travel bug because I love to travel and I haven't been
able to really, and I hope that things will be more open and safe in 2022 to do like international
travel.
So that's on my list also because all my friends are like getting married, having babies, and
I just need to see the world more.
Like I just have more travel in me that I need to get out of my system with my friends
before they just start like, you know, popping babies and their lives start to change.
I'm really in that life stage guys, like there's literally like a set number of years that,
you know, your friends are going to be able to travel with you and do all these things
without kids.
And so it's an interesting time.
All right, let me know down below your answer to the bonus question, what is a habit that
would make a meaningful change in your life right now?
And also stay tuned because the next video for plan with me, I'll still do a plan with
me January, but I'm going to do other separate videos to plan for the new year.
I'm excited for this new year content because I feel like this is where I thrive, like goal
setting and envisioning our dream life, how we're going to build it next year.
So yes, stay tuned for that click that bell subscribe if you haven't already, and I will
see you in the next one.
Love you so much.
Bye.
